Our guest for episode three of EquianoPod is Wilfred Reilly. He is an Associate Professor of Political Science at Kentucky State University. He holds a Ph.D. in Political Science from Southern Illinois University and a law degree from the University of Illinois. Reilly's research focuses on empirical testing of political claims. During our conversation, we explored various themes, such as: Fallacies in the police brutality narrative Are race issues in the US exaggerated? The importance of distinguishing between history and reality, and not conflating historical events with present-day issues. How certain life challenges are present in all communities, not just the black community. Race-faking and hate crime hoaxes. Enjoy the conversation! You can follow Wilfred Reilly here.

Today's guest is Dr Remi Adekoya, an Associate Lecturer of Politics at the University of York.  We explored various topics during the discussion, such as: What truly underlies people's dissatisfaction with current race issues? Does an informal racial order still exist in today’s world? Was there validity to some of BLM’s claims? Did the BLM movement resonate with certain truths?

Introducing EquianoPod! In our first episode, we take you back to our conversation with Rakib Ehsan about what the left gets wrong concerning ethnic minorities. Why is there a tendency to oversimplify the perspectives and principles held by ethnic minorities? Do all ethnic minorities share the same opinion about immigration, Brexit, the Black Lives Matter movement, patriotism, and other matters? Why don't we speak much about internal ethnic clashes and conflicts of ideas and values? We explored these questions with Dr. Rakib Ehsan, a research analyst and writer specialising in social cohesion, race relations, and public security. We hope that you enjoy the conversation as much as we did!
